Wisconsin Statute 66.1014 caps municipal night restrictions at a minimum 7-consecutive-night stay standard. Milwaukee cannot impose annual rental day caps on licensed STRs under state preemption.
Wisconsin State law 66.1014 preempts local annual day caps on short-term rentals. The statute requires that municipalities allow rentals for at least seven consecutive days and prohibits caps below 180 rental days per year. Milwaukee's Tourist Rooming House License is issued on an annual basis with no per-night usage cap beyond state law. Hosts renting fewer than seven consecutive days at a time must operate under the Tourist Rooming House license rather than as a long-term rental. Shorter stays are permitted and common in Milwaukee.
